Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the restroom, I stop at a rest area and head to the restroom.I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying, "Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom and I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"
And the other person says, "So what are you up to?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say, "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"
At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. "Can I come over?"
Ok, this question is just too weird for me, but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them, "No... I'm a little busy right now!!!"
Then I hear the person say nervously...
"Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions."
Cell phones... don't you just love 'em?

This reminds me of one of the pond tours Ron and I went on. I used the toilet there and had never encountered one like it before. It was like going back in time and using my grandparents' two-seater outhouse. It was one large room with two toilets, no partitions. There I was using a toilet with a strange woman sitting next to me. You don't know whether to carry on a conversation or not. I guess men are more used to such toilets. But, I think usually even in mens' toilets the toilets have stalls. When I was growing up, we had only one bathroom. I hated having to share it. Ron and I each have our own, plus a guest bath. I think marriages are much happier with separate baths. LOL I just wish I didn't have to clean them all.
